Why this matters
This firm has made a tracked AI move, with LawVu in the stack. A meaningful marker of where the firm's capability is heading.
Litera's Senior Deputy General Counsel Vivek Mali built LEA in Microsoft Copilot as legal's single front door, connected to LawVu through an MCP. LEA opens matters, checks status and finds executed contracts but is barred from giving legal advice; it opens a matter for human review when it hits the edge of its knowledge. A shared-admin-account permissions mistake put it 'in the penalty box' for about six weeks until IT security was brought in, after which other departments asked for agents and IT built a parent orchestration agent.
""You don't need to be ready. I think you just need to start." Vivek Mali, Senior Deputy General Counsel, Litera (as quoted by LawVu)"
